After watching it you'd be happy they took Chadov in, otherwise there wouldn't be one charming character in there, even though they're all supposed to be charming. As far as I understand even the

And you'll be happy "this kind" of cinema is not like "Dazhe Ne Dumai" anymore. But it is kind of confusing, how much it reminds of early music videos directed by Fyodor Bondarchuk, who's 1st AD "directed" this movie... Reminds with everything: average cast quality, colors, locations, mood, fakeness. So it's not like there's a new film director on the market. There's a nostalgic move of "I'm-too-sexy-for-teenagers-I'm-a-big-guy-now" producer.

Movie was ok...nothing special...I agree with you that it's pure Bondarchuk's style (his music videos) :) ...It's watchable, but they were trying too hard to make it look too contemporary,too hip so it ended up kind of cheesy... And Timaty is so annoying...

It would be interesting for somebody who didnt grow up in Russia or SNG...
